Do you guys personally know this people in real life? A very close family member is infected by this virus.
How should I tell her? Should I tell her anything at all or leave her be because incurable?

I've known people like that, I wouldn't recommend trying to change their beliefs. If someone believes something enough to shout it from the rooftops they probably won't have their mind changed by someone telling them they are wrong.

You can disagree with their choices and try to guide them along a better path but I think it is something that has to be done with a light touch, if you try to force it you could damage your relationship with the person.

Good luck either way, that stuff is always tricky territory to navigate.

i dont need a man women and i dont need no kids people are the same. they're selfish and value independence over security, and will regret it later in life.

the women hit mid 30s to early 40s and all of their friends are married with children and very busy. they spend all month begging for a girls night and when it comes are disappointed to find their friends dont want to stay out drinking and dancing until 2 am.

the no kids people hit the first wave of regret at the same time, all of their friends are busy with kids and dont have time for them. they try to fill the hole with vacations and hobbies but it never really fixes it. then one day they're 60-70 and they're the cool aunt/uncle who's lucky to get a visit a few times a year. then later they are in a nursing home they're paying for with a reverse mortgage and have no one to even bother calling them.

Who cares? Honestly, she's probably made some bad choices in men in the past. Men, stop treating women like shit and maybe this wouldn't happen.

Should probably work on curing your own infection(s) and worrying less about others.

as to your family member, it can be cured but not by you. she'll not believe anything u say most likely. time will cure it, or meeting the right person. you are powerless.

I couldn't care less if she wasn't a family member. I don't think time is going to cure fast enough before she turns into a lonely person for life. I'll see whether I can indirectly help her without involving myself.
